Police in Salt Lake City are hoping the public can help track down a pair of men who burst into a motel room and tied up the occupants on New Year's Eve.

The two men broke into a room at the Skyline Inn, 2475 E. 1700 South, Tuesday morning about 11 a.m., according to police. Once inside, the men ziptied the three male occupants while they robbed the room of the occupants' personal possessions.

The hotel occupants told police they were "associates" of the suspects, and knew who they were.

The robbers left in one of the victim's vehicles, a black 1995 Honda Accord with Utah license plate number B687YV.

Anyone with information about the robbery should call 801-799-3000. Anonymous tips may be sent by texting the keyword TIPSLCPD plus any relevant information to 274637.
